A first production is always a more or less nota- ble event, and when it is that of a play by an author of thoroughly established rep- utation, as in the present case, the occa- sion is certain to attract wide attention. ‘There is a natural desire upon the part of those concerned in the welfare of the American drama to see each succeeding play from the pen of a writer who is striv- ing to please the intelligent people and to make his work dignified and reputable in whatever field it may be prove successful. Mr. Du Souchet’s efforts so far have met with hearty approval, and he will be sin- cerely congratulated if he has made an- other addition to his works in the field of amusing dramatic literature as worthy as those which have gone before. THRE WAR-GRAPH EXHIBITION.—The public, so alive just now to the war inter- est with Spain, has taken quick hold of the oppoctunity to see the war-graph at the Metzerott Hall, adjoining the Columbia Theater. The exhibitions given daily, af- ternoon and evening, are becoming a point of attraction to those eager to see, in mov- ing pictures taken at the seat of war, the Spanish-American conflict reproduced. The success of these performances is already assured. — CHRISTIAN ENDEAVORERS. Plans for the Coming Year Now Being Formulated. charred and distorted remains of the picturesque Y. M. C.

Monday afternoon Mrs. Mollie Crandall, a lady who has for months devoted her time to camp life and helpful nursing, etc., was returning with a lady friend from Fort Myer, where they had taken a basket full {of delicacies to the inmates of the hospital. They saw in a field a ionely figure of soldier sitting despondently on a block. As they neared him, the staring glassiness of his eyes and the dropping jaw alarmed them. They walked up to him and had trouble to make him state his case. Witn great effort he told them he had been dis- charged from the hospital as cured, given a ticket to Massachusetts, his home, and $3 in cash. He had wandered out of the gate, leaving behind him the only shelter he knew of, and tramped down the road Without any clear idea how and where he could reach the cars that would take him home. Already weak, he soon became ex- hausted and sat down, with the hopeless prospect of a dreary open-air night com: ing and possible future starvation, with not a soul to advise or comfort him. True, bug- gies and wagons passed the road, but did not notice the solitary figure in the fleld, or merely thought he was resting: and he was too weak to rise and hail them. These two ladies helped him to his feet and he staggered to the Arlington cars, which they took with him. They changed to the ave- nue cars and brought him at last to the Soldiers’ Rest on th street, where the la- dies in charge, luckily, were able to give him a bed. Next morning inquiry proved that he was doing well, though still weak. Only just recovered from serjous sickness, the effort of a long w-lk and the mental depression of his helplessness in an un- known part of the country was certainly not likely to brace him. Most probably his case is that of nearly all discharged sol- diers. Could not some vehicle be provided to bring a discharged patient to the depot he must reach? With his ticket and a little cash, if once he met his train, the conduc- tor ard passengers would all help him along most willingly, and see that he makes the right transfers The Soldiers’ Rest, 415 9th street, has proved a blessing to hundreds of stranded boys, whose grateful thanks amply repay the ladies who have volunteered their indi- Vidual help and out of their own small circles have gleaned enough to feed and house so many stranger soldiers: for now Washington is becoming one of the regular stations for the troops as they return to their ncrthern homes. Mrs. Crandall, for the last three months, has worked morning. and night in their behalf. Fort Myer and the arsenal not having beds enough, she procured materials and machines and, with the help of all the friends she could enlist, made “pads or mattresses. She canvassed all the firms in town for delicacies and tonics. She collected a large sum from the government printing office, and is now working to get up a concert for the benefit of the soldiers who reach Washington on their way home. The work done by such Women is far-reaching, and many a letter is received from some poor fellow after he has reached his home thanking these la- dies for their thoughtful help. M. O.
